I just tried Timelord and I have to say congratulations.  Its a very nice
program.
I tried it on:

Apple IIGS ROM 01    ------------ sounded great.
Apple //e            ------------ sounded almost as good as the IIGS.

In both cases I played the music through the Apple speaker.

I also tried it on several emulators with varying results.

I do have one question about your Hi-Res screen.  On my IIGS and all the
emulators I tried it looks like a star field with lines that continuously
radiate out from the center but not reaching the edges of the screen.  On my
Apple //e however, the radiating lines continue to the edge of the screen and
wrap to the opposite side.  Is this supposed to be this way or is it something
wrong with my //e?

Anyway, nice job on the sound,

Charlie
